Control your trolling depth with a downrigger.

Downriggers are used when trolling for fish below the surface, which requires lures or bait to be kept at a specific depth while the boat is moving. Downriggers consist of a mounting bracket, a spool for the stainless steel cable and, in many cases, a rod holder. Saltwater models feature components made from corrosion-resistant materials like glass-reinforced polycarbonate, anodized aluminum and stainless steel. West Marine offer a great selection of manual and electric downriggers and downrigger accessories. Downrigger brands represented include Cannon and Scotty. Downrigger related items include downrigger covers, downrigger kits, downrigger mounts, downrigger release clips and downrigger weights.
